July 4, 200619 yr I'm sure you're all aware that today, July 5th, is Tynwald Day, the National Day of the Isle of Man. So I beg of you to join me in this most holy celebration and sing the National Anthem. Together. As one Voice. As one Soul. ♫ O land of our birth, O gem of God's earth, O Island so strong and so fair; Built firm as Barrule, Thy Throne of Home Rule Make us free as thy sweet mountain air. When Orry, the Dane, In Mannin did reign, 'Twas said he had come from above; For wisdom from Heav'n To him had been giv'n To rule us with justice and love. Our fathers have told How Saints came of old, Proclaiming the Gospel of Peace; That sinful desires, Like false Baal fires, Must die ere our troubles can cease. Ye sons of the soil, In hardship and toil, That plough both the land and the sea, Take heart while you can, And think of the Man Who toiled by the Lake Galilee. When fierce tempests smote That frail little boat, They ceased at His gentle command; Despite all our fear, The Saviour is near To safeguard our dear Fatherland. Let storm-winds rejoice, And lift up their voice, No danger our homes can befall; Our green hills and rocks Encircle our flocks, And keep out the sea like a wall. Our Island, thus blest, No foe can molest; Our grain and our fish shall increase; From battle and sword Protecteth the Lord, And crowneth our nation with peace. Then let us rejoice With heart, soul and voice, And in The Lord's promise confide; That each single hour We trust in His power, No evil our souls can betide. ♫* *In Manx: ♫ O Halloo nyn ghooie, O' Ch'liegeen ny s'bwaaie Ry gheddyn er ooir aalin Yee, Ta dt' Ardstoyl Reill Thie Myr Barrool er ny hoie Dy reayl shin ayns seyrsnys as shee.
